There was a guy in church today that went around shaking everyone’s hand. During most of the service, he was wiping sweat from his face (it wasn’t hot) and holding a tissue over his nose.
Not very considerate of him to go around shaking other’s hands like that. I don’t believe this guy had bad intentions. I just believe he’s rather simple-minded.
My husband and I made sure to wash our hands when we got home from church this morning. I wondered if it would be a good idea to forgo the “passing of the peace” during this flu season.
Oh no. That’s how it’s spread.
WHEN will churches end this ridiculous “hellos and handshakes” times? In my Bible case I have a large bottle Purell that Hubby and I slather on immediately after returning to our seats. It’s not a guarantee, as we’ve both been infected in spite of the Purell. When I’m at the organ or piano I get to miss that particular germ-spreading event, so that helps.
A couple years ago we had flu, then pneumonia, and were flat on our backs for a month. If not for having to do pet maintenance, we’d gladly have died. We know we got it from church.
